[NEIL YOUNG - LIKE A HURRICANE]
TAB VERSION
TABBED BY HEIKI
(improvements or suggestions?, just send a message to me)
Here´s an old Neil Young song that I like. I know that a chord verision is out on
OLGA, but I belive this version sounds much better. The easiest way to make this
sounds right is to listen to the song while playin the following:
INTRO/VERSE:
note:(*12 in the verses)
E-12--10-8-7-5-7--8-12--10-8-7-8-10--12-*-10-8----------12-10---|
B---------------------------------------------10-12-13-------8~-|
G---------------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------|
REFRAIN:
E-12-10--13-13-13-------------13-13--13-------------------------|
B-----------------15-15--17-15---------15-15----13---13--13-1313|
G--------------------------------------------14----14-----------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------12------8----8-8-8----8-8--8-10-12~------------------|
B----13-13------10---10-------10--------------------------------|
G-14------------------------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------------------------|

LYRICS:
(Verse1)
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.
(REF.)
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I'm getting blown away.
(Verse2)
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
(REF.)
(Verse 3)
You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.
(REF.)

| OK. This song reminds me of sleeping in the woods as a teenager; six-packs of cheap beer, Radio Caroline (non-Europeans might need THAT explained) playing stuff like this until the batteries went dead in the morning dew. A god had clearly passed through, that night. Remeniscent tosh aside, I love this song, speshly the Live Rust version. It reminds me of some of my women (Wooops, there I go agin...) | |

| On the unplugged version Young says "I want to love you but I get so blown away" I am not sure if he says this on different versions though | |

| I like everything about it. The three recorded versions (known to me) have different characters; but it is the original studio cut which I remember listening to in the '70s on Radio Caroline (a pirate radio ship in UK waters) which evokes the strongets memories. It brings back my miss-spent youth in glorious waves. That aside, I enjoy jamming around with the riffs. There's so much in there! Neil's second best song, after Heart of Gold... | |

| 3 comments? on one of the greatest songs ever written? pah! Firstly, yes sstennet, i beleive he sings "i get so blown away" only on the last chorus usually, havent listened for a while so id have to check it out (in my defence for not having listened to it for a while, i play and sing it (albeit very poorly) on guitar daily, its a sort of ritual for me). Anyway, this song is one of my all time favorites. Whenever I hear it I think of this girl I used to like, who i never made it with, but we had some amazing... moments... that just stick in memory. Cos this song is really about a single moment, when he sees this girl and feels a really intense emotion. This song has really become a part of me, so its quite difficult to analyse it personally, but sufice to say its an utterly essential song for everyone. Should be a national anthem of some place... | |

| i dunno but ive heard it said that the definition of a great song is one that either makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end or makes you cry well this one does both for me if the guitar break doesnt effect you, you must be dead | |

| According to "Shakey" Youngs only authorized biography this song is about a woman at a dance club Neil was infatuated with but would have nothing to do with him. The book says he wrote it after coming home that night. | |

| what the shit, no one has commented on this song--amazing, especially cuz its on Neil's greatest hits CD and some live discs anyway, this song is amazing (amazing pretty much applies to all of Neil's songs). It sounds like a dude met a really woman at a bar who he thought was incredible but only briefly made contact with her and then begins to lose her, wishing that she could still be with him | |

| This song is best on his unplugged cd cause at the very end there is a harmonica solo and its played with such beauty. | |
